No to Newsprint

never haerd it b4 either and when we were realy little we used newspaper to make paper mache and i used to eat the paper lol it realy grossed everyonne out nnever made me sick though

Confession time I still do it when i get nervous or stressed I know its disgusting but some habbits die hard and i just cant help it ne1 else have a wierd bd habbit

by the way thanx for the heads up

Well I suppose this is part of why i am getting treated for anxiety. Before treatment I used to pass out at the drop of a hat. I suppose your right cause the strange thing is I don't pass out as often now or eat paper as often. and it was ne paper if i was reading drawing writing i would tear off a piece and put it in my mouth and the strange thing is I don't even realise im doing it until someone points it out to me usualy my husband or mum.

just out of curiousity your saying this is not weird how do you know this? I only ask because i dont know anyone else who has a habbit like this and at 21 I think I should have grown out of it by now lol

oh yeah and do you know if my coeliacs could be related to this problem, i mean i am 5'8 and pre pregnancy weighed only 48 kilo now i weigh 52 kilo i only had her 9 weeks ago and i am already back in a size 6. I cant seam to keep it on and i have been trying for years to gain it. the doctors and i mean gp and specialists think i should weigh between 60-65 kilo and they have never mentioned the possibility of craving none food items.

I don't know anyone else personally that has this problem but I do know it's not horribly uncommon. In the US it's a standard focus during pregnancy - I'm suprised your OB/GYN didn't check with you about this during your pregnancy. Here it's on every form you have to fill out with your doctor especially during pregnancy because it's often exaggerated because your body is in higher demand of nutrients.

As for your weight, I can't speculate as to what's going on with your body you really have to see your doctor about that but I wouldn't be suprised if the two are related, one most likely does not cause the other but related I can see entirely.
